Precautions
Never use the system in flammable or explosive vapor-floated (gasoline,
etc.) place.
This may cause the fire.
Never put the device near the fluid bottle and tiny metal particle.
Never put on the fluid bottle and tiny metal particle on the top of and near the
device. When the fluid and tiny metal particle come into the device, it may be
cause of fire and electric shock.
Keep the instrument away from water and liquid.
This may cause the fire and electric shock.
Never disassemble or modify the device.
This may cause the fire and electric shock.
Never disassemble AC adapter
Be sure to remove the dust or moisture around the outlet.
This may cause the fire.
Be sure to use dedicated AC adapter.
This may cause the fire and electric shock.
If abnormal sound, unusual smell, or smoke are found in the device,
turn off the power quickly and pull out the AC adapter cable from the
outlet.
Continuing to use the device may cause the fire.
Please contact the local retailer from which you purchased the device or

Disclaimer
•We are not responsible for the damages caused by various problems such as, fire, earthquake,
behaviors by other persons, other accidents, intentional or negligent or wrong use of the device by
the operator, and the use of the device under abnormal conditions.
•We are not responsible for incidental damages arising from the use or unavailability of the device
(loss of business income, business interruption, etc.).
•We are not responsible for the damages caused by the uses other than specified in the Instruction
Manual.
•We are not responsible for the damages caused by the installation or execution of the software and
the malfunction of other software and PC.
•We are not responsible for the damages caused by the malfunction due to the combination with the
connecting devices.
Precautions for Use
•Use dedicated AC adapter, otherwise it may cause malfunction. For the power supply used for this
device, the input voltage is 100 to 240 VAC and the frequency is 50 to 60 Hz.
•Never measure the light source exceeding the measurable range or the sunlight. Such behaviors
may damage the photo detector and make it impossible to perform the stabilized measurement.
•Do not put the device on the place where it is difficult to operate the device.
•Never use the device in such places as is dusty, humid, or corrosive gas generating.
•Warm up the instrument for 5 minutes before measuring. When measuring luminance of 1cd/m2or
less by using UA-200, warm up the instrument for 30 minutes. Otherwise the instrument might
provide unreliable measured value.
•Never use this device in a place where the temperature tends to vary rapidly. Although this device is
equipped with a temperature compensating circuit, it may not perform the stabilized measurement
under the environment where the temperature tends to vary rapidly.
•Never use or store the device in such place as is subject to heavy shock like falling or as tends to
vibrate at any time. Such places may damage this device equipped with delicate optical
components.And, to carry the device, please use the carrying case not to directly vibrate or shock it.
•To store the device, be sure to put it in the carrying case and keep it under constant temperature
and humidity. Never store the device under high temperature and high humid environment such as
in a car.
•To maintain the measurement precision, be sure to perform the calibration at least once a year. For
the calibration adjustment, consult the local retailer from which you purchased the device or
TOPCON TECHNOHOUSE CORPORATION.
•To request the calibration adjustment, be sure to put the device in the carrying case and put the
case in a carton box with cushioning materials packed to send it to the retailer or us.
•When the calibration is adjusted, the measurement data stored in the device are completely
removed. Therefore, be sure to back up the necessary data in your PC before requesting the
calibration.
•Using this software together with other software may interrupt the communication with this device.
Therefore, it is better for you to execute this software as independently as possible.
•Never install software other than commercially available software on the PC onto which this
software is installed. Such behavior may cause the malfunction.
•When you use LAN cable other than standard accessory, use straight through Category 5e cable
(1000BASE-T/TX) or greater.
•Be sure to save the data at the interval between respective measurements.
•For energy saving, when the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power
plug from the socket.
•Keep the instrument away from water and liquid. This instrument is not water-resistant.
•This device consists of recyclable material. Please contact recycling agent if you dispose of this device.

•Please do not peel off the sticker stuck on the back of the main unit. If you peel it off, all warranty will be
invalid.
User Maintenance
Maintenance works other than instructed in this Manual must not be carried out by anybody other
than our servicing staff in order to keep the safety and performance. However, the following matters
can be performed by the user for maintenance.

For the dirt of lens, please remove it with a soft cloth with diluted mild detergent saturated and then
wipe it away with a dried soft cloth.
Never use solvent medium such as thinner, benzene, and acetone. Such solvent medium may
discolor the surface.
Dust which is larger than 100μm on the lens of the instrument may cause the measurement error.
Blow dust off the lens with the blower in standard package when dust settles on the lens.
